What you Will Experience

Yoga Classes every morning (by Marco Peralta)

Starting your day with a Yoga class is the best way to tune yourself with your soul and with nature. We will also be treating you with fantastic Thai Massages. Marco has a long term experience as a Yoga instructor and will adapt the exercises to all levels needed.

Preparation Class for Water Sports

We will give you a power training to prepare your strength and balance for the water experiences.

Water Sports (by Pedro Araújo Couto)

The contact with the most purifying and naturally relaxing element of all will be constant during the week. In order to benefit from the magnificent beach surroundings, sport training activities will include different water sports such as surf, paddlesurf, bodyboard and swimming.

Meditative Concert (by Marc Requilé and Nuno Reis)

By bringing together the talent of two very different musicians, this concert is all about quieting down your soul and intimate moments of total relaxation, combining unusual instruments, east meeting west. An intuitive journey in which the musicians let themselves be guided by their senses and by their heart, one with Nature, one with the Universe. You will hear the Guqin, Tibetan Bowls, Gongs, Udu, Rain-Sticks and Windchimes.

Sound Massage with Tibetan Bowls (by Marc Requilé)

Healing with the power of Sound is one of the oldest and most natural forms of healing known to man.
Tibetan Bowl Sound Massage is profoundly relaxing. During the session, twelve metal Tibetan Sound Bowls are placed on the person’s body and tabbed following a specific rhythm. The beautiful sounds produced by the Tibetan Bowls also have relaxing hypnotic effect on the brain, slowing brain waves and inducing deep meditative state.
Some benefits of the Tibetan Bowl Sound Massage

Thai Massage

A wonderful massage in Thai style that involves stretching and rhythmic pressing of the entire body, deeply relaxing.

Know Yourself - Mandala Painting Workshop (by Marc Requilé)

The Mandala Painting Workshop will give you a glimpse on your true self, revealing where you need to focus to regain your balance and harmony.

Hiking at Sintra Natural Park (Unesco’s World Heritage for Humanity)

Get close to nature in this magnificent place with breathtaking wild nature, forest, mountain and patrimonial places. Let yourself go and become One with the planet, absorb the magical energy of this place and keep it forever in your heart.

Zen Sounds Workshop (by Marc Requilé and Marco Peralta)

After a week of Sound Massages and Yoga they will finally come together in a single room. You will be taken through the history of Sound, learn its secrets and how it affects you and your life.

Slowing Down

Each day will end with lying on a sun bed by the outdoor heated pool, a nice talk, a good book, a little walk in the premises or just enjoying the view.
Start slowing down your pace and gain all the knowledge and inspiration to carry on the journey on your return home.
